It's abundantly clear that the Liberals care greatly about appeasing the climate gods and little about improving the quality of life of Canadian citizens. The carbon tax was designed to hurt Canadians financially enough so that we are forced to live a less "carbon intensive lifestyle". They want us to be poorer and therefore more malleable to their ideals of how one should live a proper life.
Indeed, high gas prices and inflation are effecting everyone, however Canada is the only G7 country that isn't instituting a gas tax cut or holiday in light of the price crunch. Why? Because emitting carbon is the ultimate sin to the Liberals and it would sow doubt on the feasibility of their ever increasing carbon tax.
The real problem at the pumps though is that the western world is constrained by supply issues due to dumb energy policy. Canada could have been part of the solution if the federal government wasn't so hostile to oil and gas projects over the years, but here we are.
There's plenty of blame to go around, but the naive "keep it in the ground" crowd who has Trudeau's ear, makes the western world poorer and less stable. This only benefits people like Putin who is STILL selling natural gas to the rest of Europe so that Russians can kill Ukrainians.
